If I could conclude my point, this Government has acted by bringing forward this legislation and making a very clear commitment that it will undertake investigation in Tuam. In this year's budget, it has brought forward a very significant allocation to my Department so we can begin that work. That money is available now. I am not looking to get it in budget 2023. It is available to begin the work as soon as the legislation is passed. That combination demonstrates the determination of this Government and my determination as Minister to make sure we do act on what has happened in Tuam.
